The Miserable Ones
04:40
|
|||
|
We are here for some unknown reason.
We are here and we're living a lie.
How can anyone paint on a smile,
Knowing we are just waiting to die.
They'll try to tell us that Jesus loves us,
Heaven is waiting, and everything's fine.
But we are just too sophisticated,
We're medicated and just killing time.
We will never be happy ones,
Cause you and I are the miserable ones.
. . . you and I we are the miserable ones.
We're on a spaceship and there's just no stopping,
This rocket ride to a hole in the ground.
The day we're born is our first day dying,
Until it ends on a cemetery mound.
We're living misery, the only thing we see,
Is life is torture when death looms nigh.
Happiness and sorrow turn to greyed out apathy,
When one day we know that we will have to say goodbye.
Nothing is perfect.
No one is happy.
No one is perfect.
Nothing is happy.

Vitality
05:14
|

Been trying all these years in vain to diagnose,
my own vitality, and find the correct dose,I medicate
to alleviate the symptoms of a dying life,
I stay awake at night and think what death is like.
Doctor give me what I really need.
A drug that is the eternal seed.
Emergency! Emergency! No prescription for Vitality.
Emergency! Emergency! I need a cure for this mortality.
Feeling trapped and helpless in this world I can't escape.
Humanity is a prison and there's no way to reshape, the consequence
of cosmic train wrecks in a blackened universe.
Life is a much a blessing as it is a curse.
The world's leading medical scientists.
Will never find a cure for this!

Give It Up
03:28
|

|
There's just one thing that I really need.
Something so tiny, so beautiful, I bleed,
Just to taste it, I take it, I put it inside.
The whole entire world just collapses and dies.
I want it every night, and I want it every day.
To erase this infection there is no other way.
Put it on the altar facing towards the sun.
I'm completely engulfed and there's no where to run.
I just can't get it out of my head.
This tiny little thing that's got me hanging by a thread.
I just can't get it out of my head.
I'll never give it up until the day that I'm dead.
God is so high and so far away.
I think I know exactly how he feels today.
My feelings are gone and my soul is deleted.
The circle of eternity is now completed.
There is a wire connected to my brain.
Sending down a current to remove all this pain.
My silicone parts now seem so real.
The reason I crave this medical meal.
If it isn't given then it will be taken.
My will and my resolve will never be shaken.
To get what I want, to get what I need.
To get the only thing for which I bleed.
Give it to me, give it to me (x4)
If I can't have it then I'd rather be dead!

What Are You Livin' For?
04:09

Are ya livin' for the money?
Are ya livin' just for the cash?
Are ya livin' for the money, honey?
Are ya livin' just to build your stash?
Are ya livin' for posessions?
Are ya livin' for the things you got?
Are ya livin' to get more?
Are ya burnin' for what you have not?
All the things that you're livin' for,
I tell ya, baby, they are just a bore.
Tell me what are ya livin' for?
Are ya livin' for the pussy?
Are ya livin' for the fucks you get?
Are ya livin' for the pussy?
Are ya livin' just to taste the sweat?
Are ya livin' for the cock?
Are ya livin' for what gets you wet?
Are ya livin' for the cock?
And all the nights that you'll soon forget?
All the things that you're livin' for,
I tell ya, honey, they are just a bore.
Are ya livin just to die?
Are ya livin' for the ancient lie?
Are ya livin' just to live?
Are ya livin' just to get by?
All the things that you're livin' for,
I tell ya, baby, they are just a bore!

Don't Wanna Die Tonight

Livin' fast i'm gonna crash down hard.
Hope the reaper don't pull my card.
Cause I ain't ready to see the light.
I wanna stay just one more night.
When it comes, gonna hit me fast.
I know it wasn't made to last.
Gotta hang on just one more day.
Don't wanna meet my buddy Grim today.
Been livin' life so goddamned hard.
I know that death isn't too far.
Mama let me see the mornin' light,
Cause I don't wanna die tonight.
Tell me everything will be alright,
Cause I don't wanna die tonight.
If I wake up, Gonna be just fine.
Walkin' that thin thin thin damn line.
If I were to have just one more pill,
Tell me , tell me, please, will I be breathin still.
And if I were to have just a few more drinks,
Would I still have a chance, tell me what you think.
Cause i ain't ready to disappear.
It's the only thing that keeps me in fear.
But while I'm around I wanna live it up.
Drink life from the bottle, to hell with the cup.
Been livin' life so goddamned hard.
I know that death isn't too far.
If I wake up gonna be just fine,
Walkin' that thin thin thin damn line.
Baby, tell me I'm gon' be alright.
Cause I don't wanna die tonight.
Tell the reaper to get outta my sight,
Cause I don't wanna die tonight

Dream
04:32
|
|||
|
In the silence, I imagined myself
Sitting on the edge of the bed with the
Gun against my head, Slowly slide back the
Hammer. Three short breaths and I know
What I have to do. Would the world still turn with
Out me? I don't know but I
Have to escape. Finger's on the
Trigger. One loud bang, and my world explodes.
I can't hear, I can't see, Am I where I'm supposed to be?
I can't feel, I can't smell, Is this heaven? Is this hell?
I don't know, I don't know.
Machines take over, Just lying there,
Nobody around but the white coats, how much
longer now before they pull the plug?
Let me slip away. Never wanted to
Be here in the first place. Just want an end I'm
Dreaming and bleeding, long ago stopped believing,
life had any meaning at all. Now I just want to go.
I really wanna believe
There is a reason to live
Now this is just a dream, but
One day it will come true.

Perpetrate
03:43
|
|||
|
How easily a life is created.
How easily can it be taken away.
There is no reason to forgive transgression.
Don't let it go for another day.
Take it into your hands and orchestrate it.
Make the thing offensive to you die and decay.
Think it into your mind and perpetrate it.
Never let anyone get in your way.
Perpetrate
Denigrate
Desecrate
Decapitate
Don't feel so guilty for kindling aggression.
Life was designed to lead one to death.
Don't shake or tremble when you pull the trigger.
Don't let a man stand in front of success.
Never think that the law is above you.
They cannot bound what you have loosed.
Always remember this life is a prison.
Seclusion is freedom, so there is no excuse.
I'm here beside you cause we're in this together.
Wrapped in your hatred, you are never alone.
I am alive in the cross and the crescent.
Just wear my symbol and you'll always be home.

Everything in the World
04:14
|

|
Call it disease, call it what you may.
It seems that nothing ever goes my way.
Maybe I just expect too much.
I want it all and it is never enough.
I wanna live ten thousand years.
I want an end to all my fears.
I need the drugs the sex the money the fame.
If I don't get it only god is to blame.
I've gotta have everything in the world,
Or I don't want anything at all.
Some people cry cause they lost their girl.
Some people die just to save the world.
My tears are only for the things I need.
The notoriety for which I bleed, yeah.
If I'm not known all over the earth.
I feel like there is nothing of worth.
In my life, If I can't have wealth.
I think I should just kill myself.
Sometimes I feel like I should be the king.
Sometimes it seems like I'm just nothing.
Sometimes I want it so bad it hurts.
Sometimes I wish I were beneath the dirt.
It's not easy being maniacal.
Often this life can be a trial.
I find it's best to just kill it dead.
Put the bullet deep inside your head.
anything at all
anything at all

A Beautiful Death
04:22
|
|||
|
Look into a baby's eyes.
It doesn't know that its on it's way to die.
It doesn't know that it will never read.
The afterwards written like a eulogy.
It will spend its entire life.
Finding a job, a husband or a wife.
That will just get taken away.
On that fateful, final ending day.
Life just goes on, and on . . . until we die.
We're not eternal and we're not blessed.
The seeds are planted deep inside our breasts.
There is a bomb ticking in our chests.
Our beautiful lives end in a beautiful death.
Life is like a waiting room.
Sitting outside the entrance to our tomb.
We never know when they'll call our name.
We're all losing, nobody wins this game.
What lies beyond, no one can tell.
Probably nothing, no heaven and hell.
Maybe it just starts over again.
Maybe all of us will just find an end.
The waiting just goes on, and on . . . until we die.
